Use template engine for the view in CI?
In addition to that "designers" can understand the view pages better, what other advantages template engine can have?
I have been using "meaningful" variable names, and I usually embed php into html when I can instead of use php to generate html, and I have been working with php tag knowledgeable designers, so I don't have the big problems for the designers to understand the "view" pages to format them.
But if I want my CI view pages be able to be understood by designers universally, I should use template engine? Or is it not really necessary?
If template engine would be used, how about smarty? I found smarty has a CI library now. Any advices or recommendations? any other template engine you would recommend, etc.?
I used smarty for a small project before, I could see some advantages but didn't see these advantages worth the efforts to use smarty in that project. But it was a small individual project, one time deal, it cannot veto the advantages to use smarty in other projects.
Any opinions?
Thanks!
